  • On Trading, OHL Has a Lot to Learn Players Are Also Students, and Under Plenty of Stress by STEVE SIMMONS -- Toronto Sun
    On trading, OHL has a lot to learn Players are also students, and under plenty of stress By STEVE SIMMONS -- Toronto Sun Why I wouldn't want my son playing in the Ontario Hockey League: They trade kids. They swap teenager for teenager. They preach education but think nothing of bartering young men just days away from exam time. Yesterday, on the day kids returned to high school, a boy named Yves Bastien, who grew up in Northern Ontario and left home to learn his junior hockey and math in Kitchener, found out that he will now be living and playing and schooling in Peterborough. Bastien is all of 17-years-old. This is his draft year. This is his professional ticket. Yes, the OHL treats these kids as though they are professionals. Except they don't pay them a whole lot of anything to be professional. Except most of them, the statistics show, will play low-level professional hockey and never any higher. In fairness, the teams do provide educational packages for their players -- which has been a source of some controversy recently -- but that, on it own isn't enough. "If there's one area we expose ourselves as not always serving (our players) it is in trading players," OHL commissioner David Branch said, clearly uncomfortable with the subject. "I am not one who is in favour of large-scale trading. I think there are valid reasons for some trades ... but we have to continue to find a way to make this right." The OHL has experimented with moving its trading deadline and putting in trading blackout periods, but typically hockey people find their way around the spirit of the rules.

In the trade, the Firebirds acquired North Bay's Maurizio Colella for Mississauga's fifth-round pick in 2019. “Maurizo is an experienced forward that we know very well,” said Flint Firebirds General Manager George Burnett. “He is a quality individual that will be a good asset to our program moving forward.” Colella, a native of Tottenham, Ont. is currently in the midst of his best OHL season, recording 16 points (6G, 10A) including 21 penalty minutes in 35 games with the Battalion. The six-foot, 187- pound forward is in his third season in the Ontario Hockey League and has competed for the Belleville Bulls, Hamilton Bulldogs and the Battalion. He’s a veteran guy that’s played a lot of games in this league," said Flint Firebirds Head Coach Ryan Oulahen. "He’s someone I’m very familiar with and I'm really excited for him to join our program.

Greg played in the Ontario Hockey League for three seasons with the Oshawa Generals from 1978-81 before being selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1981 NHL Draft. He played nine seasons in the NHL as a goaltender with the Red Wings, winning 115 games, prior to suffering a career-ending knee injury on Nov. 25, 1989 against the Edmonton Oilers. “I’m excited, it feels like I’ve been involved in this organization for a long time now, since it has come over from the Plymouth Whalers,” said Stefan. “The facilities are second-to-none, it’s treated like a miniature NHL here internally, it’s outstanding. The staff is phenomenal and it’s obvious the Firebirds are in really good hands and have a positive future moving forward.” Stefan then began his coaching career in 1993 with the OHL’s Detroit Jr. Red Wings, contributing to the team's first OHL championship in 1995. He remained with the club, which had relocated from Detroit to Plymouth, Mich., as the Plymouth Whalers, until 1998 before taking a job with the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes. Stefan was a scout in the Hurricanes’ organization for four seasons before being named the Head Goaltending Coach in 2005.
